Fri Apr 11 07:35:42 UTC 2025: ## Mutual Fund Inflows Dip Amidst Market Volatility
**New Delhi, April 11, 2025** – Equity mutual fund inflows in India experienced a significant drop in March 2025, falling 14% to ₹25,082 crore, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India (Amfi). This marks the third consecutive month of decline, although net inflows into the segment remain positive for the 49th consecutive month.
The decrease signals a shift in investor sentiment, with a move away from sector-specific investments towards more diversified strategies. While flexi-cap funds saw the highest inflows at ₹5,165 crore, sectoral/thematic funds experienced a sharp decline from ₹5,711 crore in February to just ₹735 crore in March.
Mid-cap and small-cap funds continued to attract investment, with inflows of ₹3,439 crore and ₹4,092 crore respectively, slightly up from February. However, large-cap funds saw a decrease in inflows. Conversely, gold ETFs saw an outflow of ₹77 crore after significant inflows the previous month.
Debt funds registered a substantial outflow of ₹2.02 lakh crore, contributing to an overall mutual fund outflow of ₹1.64 lakh crore for March. Despite this, the industry’s assets under management slightly increased to ₹65.7 lakh crore. The overall decline reflects the impact of continued market volatility on investor behavior.
